Congratulations Anna and thank you for the update. I took part in exchanges a few years and it was fun. Happy lacemaking.

I personally love the email exchanged we have had over the years and I love how much I have learnt and people whom I have met. So I am suggesting that we keep Arachne as is. If people want ornament or other lace exchanges then perhaps someone ought to put their hand up to run it. I have recently been elected as President of the Australian Lace Guild and the guild has restructured as well. As the first President of this restructured guild I really have my hands full trying to organise two conferences, one for this year and one for 2024. I am also on a steep learning curve on editing web pages. Last time I edited a web Page was in the mid 1990s and we used HTML as a programming language. Yes the school in which I worked had its own intranet since there were very few educational resources online in those days. For the first time the Australian Lace Guild has a National Administrative Committee made up of individuals in every state. This would have been impossible in 1979 when it was set up. Now we are communicating in real time using our various devices in real time. At present I want to focus on my current commitment and just continue to lurk on Arachne. Anna in hat hot steamy Sydney.
